The Sad Story Of Allergies
IT WAS ORGASMIC!
But everything good comes with a price. I had to suffer from an acute stomachache and subsequently, a run to the loo.
And this is all because i'm lactose intolerant!!!
When I was young, I always suffered from bad
stomachaches. It was an EVERYDAY thing and I had to put up with it. I never knew why I had stomachaches every single day until recently when someone added this special word "lactose intolerance" into my dictionary.
WTH to the max!!!!
It then struck me that my mom used to provide me with a HUGE glass of milk every single morning before I leave for school. =.='''
No wonder I always had stomachaches...
No more cheese...No more milk...No more chocolates...
The truth hurts...
So to save all you noobs like me out there from unknown allergies, I have come
out with a list of the different kinds of allergies (common and weird) and symptoms so that NO ONE will fall into this crappy situation as I did.

BEWARE OF THIS PLANT
- Bee Sting allergy- erm... not really applicable? There's hardly any bees in Singapore..
- Pet allergies- Caused by Pet's fur, saliva even urine(ewww) USUALLY by CATS..ah hah! I always knew cats were up to no good. This just proves my point! Results in sudden eye itches, wheezy breath and RASH
- Latex Allergies- Caused by rubber related stuff like rubber gloves, rubber glove powder, condoms... Kinda pity those with this allergy...Cannot use condoms, later have unwanted kids...Anyway, this allergy will result in MAJOR skin irritations like dryness, itching, scaling and lesion.
